TRINITY (Belief in Three Gods)
and its FALSITY
Protestants have chosen five criterial bases for comparing
Qur’ân al-kerîm with todays Gospels. On the first basis, i.e.
trinity, they attribute the nonexistence of belief in three
hypostases, or three gods, (which are Father, Son, and the Holy
Spirit), in Qur’ân al-kerîm to the deficiency of Qur’ân al-kerîm.
They assert that the doctrine of trinity was implied in the former
heavenly books. After admitting in some of their own publications
that this solemn matter is vague in the Taurah, they cannot
forward any documents to prove their thesis, with the exception
of the Gospel of John, the Book of Acts and the epistles of the
Apostles. However, the books and epistles which they refer to as
proofs are of no value because they are not founded on
dependable facts.
Before explaining the matter of trinity, it is necessary to make
some observations and explicatory remarks on Ishâ-i-Rabbânî.
As we have already mentioned earlier, Ishâ-i-Rabbânî (the
Eucharist) is one of the tenets of the Christian belief.
Accordingly, since it is believed by Christians that Îsâ ‘alaihissalâm’
is one of the three persons each of which is a true god,
Christians, so to say, unite with him by eating his flesh and
drinking his blood. Thus the sins they have committed are
pardoned, they believe, at the cost of sacrificing the Son of God
[May Allâhu ta’âlâ protect us from saying or believing so]. And
they believe that when a priest breathes (a certain prayer) on a
piece of leavened or unleavened bread and on some wine, the
bread becomes the flesh of Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ and the wine
becomes his blood.
They say that this fact is written in the twenty-sixth and later
verses of the twenty-sixth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, in
the twenty-second and later verses of the fourteenth chapter of
the Gospel of Mark, in the nineteenth and later verses of the
twenty-second chapter of the Gospel of Luke. In fact, an event
